Answer:

Ferdinand Magellan sought to prove that the spice islands could be reached by a western route.

Explanation:

Ferdinand Magellan was a Portuguese explorer that believed the spice islands could be reached by the west sea if the world was surrounded. So, he started a trip with 5 ships from Spain to explore the sea and reach the islands. He died in the attempt but the quest was successful thanks to his contributions and records. And after three years the 18 remaining members of the fleet reached home to show them the Magallan stretch. He was the first European to cross the pacific ocean.

disa [49]

Answer: Midway. From Dec. 1941 to Summer 1942, America had been fighting a defensive war against Japan (ever since Pearl Harbor, America was fighting to keep its territories in the Pacific until island-hopping started.) After Midway, Japan gave up on its plan to expand across the Pacific, and America went on the offensive. It also turned the war in the Allies' favor. America and its allies could go on the offensive because Midway greatly damaged the Japanese fleet.
